Parenting
She was in her early 30’s and pregnant with her first child...
She and her husband did a three week pre-marital Maui Intensive years ago which worked really well for them. They had each come from 'good' families, yet longed to have more loving kindness in their relationship and in the family they would create together. Now that she was pregnant, it was important to this woman to do another week Intensive to make sure she didn’t bring any of the problematic parts of her childhood into her parenting style. Rae and Judy have led parenting groups for many years and raised five children of their own. There is no one perfect parenting style; rather, it is important to understand the potential strengths and weaknesses you might bring to parenting. Rae and Judy are proponents of parents doing their own personal growth work as the greatest gift they can give their children. As family consultants they believe the greatest inheritance one can leave their children is their own happiness.

It is so rewarding to witness the process in a relationship where each person sees their part, learns new self care techniques, and then is able to communicate without taking things personally and actually hear the other.
